Looks fun, but…

It’s not at all clear how to play, and the game includes NO INSTRUCTIONS.

Great Game!!!

I love love love this game! I kept searching for a classic jewelry game. Not the many ones like Bejeweled where you flip to match the jewels, but just like this where they fall, and you have to line them up! Thank You! 😊

Blitz

A lot of fun!

Addictive
